Wonderful experience with the Carlos Lastra and his team.

Carlos Lastra and his team are true professionals. At the start of my divorce process I anticipated a nerve racking experience and possible rising anxiety. While my wife and I spoke of a collaborative effort in finalizing our divorce, I did not want thing to get contentious. With Mr. Lastra as my c...ouncil I was in extremely good hands. He walked me through the process in a thoughtful, deliberate and patient manner while keeping stressors in check. The outcome was exactly what I had envisioned. I am very pleased and would highly recommend his team and services.

Child Custody Win

I hired Mr. Lastra to assist me in divorcing my abusive husband and gaining custody of my two daughters. My very first impression of Mr. Lastra was through my initial phone conversation with his legal assistant. The first questions asked of me were about my wellbeing and safety, which stood out from ...my phone calls with other law firms who started the conversation around money. Mr. Lastra has been carefully considerate of the nuances of my case since day one, and he has also proven to be intelligent, resourceful, and capable. He was particularly sensitive about unique aspects of my cultural background and took care to better understand them as well. Mr. Lastra's performance in court also stood out to me because he was well prepared and adapted quickly to unexpected circumstances. Ultimately, Mr. Lastra was successful in winning full legal and physical custody of my children for me. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Lastra to anyone looking for a reputable, reliable divorce attorney.

The Best Family Law Lawyer

Tough, extremely smart and dependable. When looking for a family law lawyer to represent me against my lawyer husband and his notoriously harsh family law lawyer I was told by an attorney that if my husband hired ——- “he wants a blood bath, not a divorce”. This was 100% true. Carlos turned very bad s...atiations around and gave me hope and positive movement out of what was my very worst of times. He is very smart, honest and very tough. He stands up to bullies with intelligence and without allowing them to paint you into a horrible person that you aren not.

Best Custody Lawyer in Maryland

Carlos handled my difficult custody case. He began strategizing right from the start of our consultation and proved throughout the case to be a master of family law. Mediation could have been a game of manipulation by my ex, but Carlos had prepared me for everything and protected my child’s best inte...rest throughout. Carlos thought of everything drew up a strong all encompassing agreement. I honestly believe Carlos is the reason we are able to co-parent so well. I can’t thank Carlos enough.
